Additional Information

More information about this loan

This loan is part of Milango's program designed for organic tea tree farmers in the Mt. Kenya region of the country. Partnering with Earth Oil -- a major distributor of organic and sustainable oil products -- and the USAID-funded FIRM project, Milango is offering loans to help groups of tea tree farmers establish steady and reliable incomes. FIRM provides skills training to farmers and Earth Oil provides seedlings and purchases the final products, guaranteeing a market. Accordingly, farmers' loan repayments are deducted from Earth Oil's purchasing prices, streamlining the process. Also easing the repayment process, Milango has built in an 18-month grace period to account for the time it takes for tea trees to mature and begin generating profits, and has waived its savings requirement.
